-
Continuation and consolidation of the Schumacher Society Research Fellowship as our core activity
-

-
Steam-lining operations and activities

This year we also spent time and attention to explore if and how the Schumacher Society could be of service to the wider community of Schumacher minded people. The activities included:
-
Developing an idea for a programme of activities to strengthen Schumacher Connections world wide.
-
Actively participating in and leading a venue to imagine how the Schumacher netwerk could organise itself.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
1. RESEARCH IN ACTION
Summary
2023/24 was a year of consolidation as intended. The aim was to concentrate on supporting members to complete their studies by the end of 2024 which marks 7 years since the earliest members enrolled in the research community. Activities were streamlined to provide more intensive individual supervision to the PhD candidates on thesis submission and more mentoring for those on the research fellowship to encourage them to complete the next stage of their studies.
Activities
-
The annual in-person research meeting was held again at Campus de la Transition, Forges, France in May 2023, with all but one member of the community able to attend. This was a chance for all members to share work in progress, both prior to the event via the on-line studio/gallery pages of our website, and during it.
-
As part of this meeting Ruth Cross tested the immersive performance app she has created with collaborators to educate people about the plight of immigrant workers in Almeria’s exploitative agricultural plastic sea. With a text and edited video of reflections on the work now on our website, this constituted her passing the ‘Preview’ stage of the Research Fellowship track. Bia Tadema also completed and published her Preview ‘Walking on Dangerous Ground’ her research into using writing to explore, in public settings, the experience of opening up very sensitive issues often related to power relations. Pepik Henneman also published , as his Preview, extracts from his text ‘A Warriors Rest’ on making ‘sensing’ figural in complex social innovation projects.
-
In March Juliet Scott undertook step one of the Research Fellowship track by presenting a ‘Gateway’ on her first year’s work to members of the community and selected peers from her field. She is exploring the connections between curating her Still Life artistic works with curating archival material in the organisations she works with as a member of the Tavistock Institute.
-
On-line 3-day research meetings were held in November 23, and February 24, organised by Adriana Puech and Evelyn Roe, and Anna Lena Hahn and Adri Puech respectively.
-
There were two semi-public webinars offered by faculty members during the year.
oApril 23: Martin Daly and Peter Allan on ‘What does it mean to live in a Tradition’
3
-
July 23: Luigi Russi and Patricia Shaw (interviewed by Anna Lena Hahn) on ‘Learning with and from Hannah Arendt: an epistolary essay’
-
A new form of peer group has been organised by 3 of the more recent members of the community, (Juliet, Ruth and Adriana) and has been meeting for 6 months.
-
The monthly Commons Room continues to be the place where the organisation of the community is agreed and issues are raised and discussed.
2. STRENGTHENING CONNECTIONS
A convening programme was developed to strengthen connections and an event was prepared the Sharpham Estate for the new Satish Kumar Foundation whis is being followed up:
The Radical Love in Action global network underwich Schumacher and Satish Kumar inspired projects connect, reinforce each other and collaborate to expand its world vision and enhance its influence locally and globally. We aim to do so by:
- Supporting at least two yearly in presence gatherings in different parts of the world, held by the already existing homes in the different bioregions. Participants will visit inspired Schumacher initiatives, reflect and learn from each other's practices and reconnect locally and also globally through linked hybrid events. This local landing with the network we call a murmuration. Murmuration is a phenomenon where birds come together to form one flock that takes to the sky, swooping and swirling, creating beautiful patterns and powerful waves. We are building up on the experience of several years of pioneering with murmurations by members of the world wide Schumacher Community.± - Convene online meetings, conversations, celebrations amongst members of the global network. Theme based, practice based, and bioregional. We call them reverberations.
The initiating RLACP-team consists of Maria Llanos and Pepik Henneman and is using 2024 to test the grounds and prototype. Maria has held several meetings with people who have been involved with murmurations.
Financial position
As the accounts show, we end the year with a total of £22,320 to be carried forward. This includes £10,000 restricted donation for preparation, event and follow-up at the Sharpham Estate for the new Satish Kumar Foundation. This was received in March 24 and will be used in April/May 2024.
The ongoing activities of the community have been self-sustaining this year with the costs of individual and group supervision, self-organising convening and the annual research meeting being met by members.

2.2 INCOME
| Recognition of income The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Offsetting Grants and donations Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Income from membership subscriptions Income from interest, royalties and dividends The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Contractual income and performance related grants Support costs Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Donated services and facilities Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Investment gains and losses Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; • it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA.

Grants with performance Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of conditions service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to performance conditions realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net progress realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at Debtors settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and Current asset investments cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
